And close thine eyes against the light;
Poor sinner, harden not your heart.
Be saved, O to-night.
Chorus:
O why not to-night?
O why not to-night?
Wilt thou be saved?
Then why not to-night?
2 Tomorrow’s sun may never rise
To bless thy long deluded sight;
This is the time, O then be wise,
Be saved, O to-night. [Chorus]
3 Our Lord in pity lingers still,
And wilt thou thus His love requite?
Renounce at once thy stubborn will,
Be saved, O to-night. [Chorus]
4 Our blessed Lord refused none
Who would to Him their souls unite;
Believe, obey, the work is done;
Be saved, O to-night. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [O do not let the word depart]
O Why Not To-Night?
